   Borrowed Hearts (1997) (TV)
   aka Borrowed Hearts: A Holiday Romance
   starring Eric McCormack, Roma Downey, Sarah Rosen Fruitman, and Hector Elizondo
   IMDB Synopsis:
   Kathleen’s a hard-working single mother who’s saving to buy a house for herself and her daughter, Zoe. Sam’s a businessman who has to pretend he has a family in order to close a deal with the mysterious Javier Del Campo. Sam owns the company that Kathleen works for and, as her boss, manages to convince her to help him out. But, Del Campo is more than he seems, and it just might be Zoe who’s making the real deal to get a new home for herself, her mother, and Sam.

   Zoe sees a huge house that looks like her dollhouse and, when she finds the door unlocked, goes into the house to look around, pursued closely by her mother. When the faux- family Sam has hired doesn’t work out, especially the bratty little boy, he asks Kathleen, who already works for him, is she and Zoe will portray his family. Then, they get stuck with the masquerade, with which the adults start getting comfortable.

   Another suggestion is that you may be thinking of Miracle on 34th Street (1994) in which a mother and daughter are driving down a street and the daughter spots a house that looks just like the one she saw in a magazine–the one that she told Santa that she wanted. Again, the daughter jumps out of the car and rushes into her dream house.
